Does anyone know where I can buy one of these from, ive only seen them on tuned American cars. Is there a UK supplyer for these?

Nope.

Description says it's Phenolic.
Ever heard of Bakelite?
It's a sort of hardened MDF/Fibreglass material.

FWIW, I'd be cautious about having one posted from abroad unless the seller could ensure you that they were going to sandwich the item between a couple of lengths of wood or summat.
It's rather brittle.

Sorry. Still not with you.
The picture you posted in your first post is of a lump of bakelite.

It's in your link on the ATS site, bottom picture. It came well packaged and arrived quickly from what I remember but I did get caught for import duties, if you can get one from a UK supplier I'd go for that, at least you guarantee how much you'll pay in total.
